CAUSES EVENT or SITUATION
The Pope realizes Luther is a threat to papal authority.
The H.R.E., is a devout
Catholic, and also feels threatened by the uproar.
Charles V
Holy Roman
Emperor
2. In 1520, Luther refuses to recant at
Worms and is excommunicated.
In 1521, he is declared an outlaw and heretic.
SAXONY

Luther is sheltered by the prince of Saxony where he translates Bible into German.
When he returns to
Wittenberg, his followers have become a separate religious group – the
Lutherans.
Frederick,
Prince of Saxony offered protection to
Pope Leo X
Luther Starts the Reformation; Text, p. 429; Packet p. 22
CAUSES EVENT or SITUATION EFFECTS
Excited by Luther’s talk about “religious freedom,” peasants revolt hoping for social / economic freedom
(an end to serfdom).
3. The German peasants revolt in 1524.
When the armies of German princes (at Luther’s request) brutally crush this revolt
(killing thousands), previous supporters now turn against
Luther.
Religious Wars begin between
Catholics and Protestants.
Luther Starts the Reformation; Text, p. 429; Packet p. 22
CAUSES EVENT or SITUATION EFFECTS
Charles V fought a 20 year war against the German
Protestant princes and defeated them in 1547.
But he could not force them to remain in the Catholic
Church.
4.
The Peace of
Augsburg is signed in 1555.
The peace settlement ended the war and allowed the ruler of each German state to decide his own state’s religious preference.

Charles V
Holy Roman
Emperor
In 1525 Luther had married a former nun named
Katharine von
Bora. She bore him eight children and outlived him by six years.
Even today, unlike Catholic priests who take a vow of celibacy, ministers in Protestant churches can get married.

England becomes Protestant - Text, p. 431; Packet p. 23
CAUSES EVENT or SITUATION EFFECTS
Henry VIII needed to annul his marriage to
Catherine so he could remarry in order to get a male heir.
The Pope would not allow.
So Henry calls Parliament into session and passes the
Act of Supremacy.
5. English Parliament approves the Act of
Supremacy in 1534.
Henry closes all English monasteries; seizes their lands and other Catholic holdings in England; thereby increasing his royal power, as well as his own personal wealth.
The Act of Supremacy made the ruler of England the official head of the Church of England – no longer the Catholic Pope.
Today, the Act of Supremacy remains in effect –
Queen Elizabeth II of England is officially the head of the Anglican Church.

Henry’s daughter Mary had tried to restore Catholicism in England after her father’s break with the Pope.
Elizabeth I restores
Protestantism and asks
Parliament to create a national Church of England.
6. Parliament establishes the
Anglican Church in 1559.
The Anglican church becomes the only legal church in England and people were required to attend. Elizabeth tried to create a church that both moderate Catholics and
Protestants could accept.
After everything her father went through trying to get a male heir – even executing her own mother
– it is ironic then that his daughter
Elizabeth would turn out to be one of the most politically skilled and wellremembered monarchs in England’s history.
She was a master at diplomacy with other European powers and at achieving compromises in her own kingdom in order to maintain peace among squabbling religious groups.

Philip II of
Spain had been married to
Mary I of
England. A loyal Catholic, he did not think Elizabeth was a legitimate heir to the English throne .
He also believes Elizabeth is condoning her English navy’s piracy of his
Spanish galleys .
When England sides with the Dutch against Philip’s rule in the Netherlands and Elizabeth has her cousin Mary (Queen of
Scots) executed for treason, Philip decides to invade England.
The Spanish Armada tries to invade England.

Calvin Begins Another Protestant Church - Textbook, p. 433; Packet p. 27
John Calvin
1509-1564
John Calvin was born in France and was only 12 years old when Martin
Luther was standing trial and refusing to recant at the Council of Worms.
But Calvin heard about the controversy and, even at 12, was intrigued by the excommunicated monk Luther’s bold defense of himself and his belief in the Scriptures.
To stand in a courtroom and defend oneself against the powerful Church was an enticing scenario to young Calvin who decides to study law at the
University of Paris.
Taking up what Luther had begun, Calvin would organize the doctrine
(organized system of thought, or theology) to the new Protestant faith.
B. Perceiving Relationships predestination – a doctrine (teaching) held by Calvinists; the belief that God has
“pre-destined” (already decided) who will be saved and / or damned even before we are born .
[ Those who God has chosen beforehand to be “saved” are known as the “elect.”]
Calvinism – Christian religion or ideas even today that are based on Calvin’s teachings.

John Calvin
1509-1564
1. Calvinism People are sinful in their nature; only the “elect” will be saved ; the doctrine of predestination says that God has known who the elect will be since the beginning of time.
Also believes the government should be in the hands of religious leaders (a theocracy) and society should be governed by strict laws of morality .

In England, the Puritans would adopt the ideas of
Calvin and would oppose both the
Catholic as well as the
Protestant Anglican
Church in England.
Calvinist followers In France will be called Hugenots .
French Hugenots suffered a long period of persecution in this largely Catholic country.
Read about the
St. Bartholomew’s Day
Massacre in your text, p. 434.
John Calvin was asked to create his vision of the ideal society by the citizens of Geneva
Switzerland – a strict theocracy where religious leaders rule and rigid moral conduct was demanded.
Punishments for rule breakers could be severe – such as excommunication and banishment.

2. Presbyterianism John Knox brought Calvinism to Scotland.
This Protestant group takes it name from the elders who were chosen to govern each religious community – they were called presbyters.
John Knox
1505-1572
Protestant nobles of Scotland were led by Knox (a former Catholic priest) in making
Calvinism Scotland’s official religion. They even overthrew the Catholic queen Mary,
Queen of Scots and her young son James VI was placed on the throne.

3. Anabaptists Believed only adults are mature enough to make a decision to be baptized; believed in clear separation of Church and State; were pacifists
(refused to fight in wars) .
Ulrich Zwingli
1484-1531
Anabaptists were the forerunners of the Mennonites and Amish. They also influenced the Quakers and Baptists who both split from the Anglican Church.
All four of these groups exist in the U.S. and, except for the Baptist, continue to practice pacifism and staunchly defend the ideas of Free Thinking and Conscience.

Women of the Reformation- Textbook, p. 434 - 5; Packet p. 27
NOTABLE WOMEN
Marguerite of Navarre was the sister of the King of France, Francis I.
She was an important protector of John Calvin and other early reformers of the church, she expressed her intensely felt religious views in poetry and plays.
There were other women too who played active, outspoken roles in the call for Church Reformation. But as time passed the Protestant religions became more formally organized, male leaders narrowly limited the roles or activities women could perform.
FAVORITE QUOTES from Marguerite
“God always helps madmen, lovers, and drunkards.”
“When one has one good day in the year, one is not wholly unfortunate.”
“Blessed is he who has it in his power to do evil, yet does it not.”
“People pretend not to like grapes when they are too high for them to reach.”

The Catholics Counter with a Reformation of their own - Textbook, p. 435; Packet p. 27
B. Perceiving Relationships
As Protestantism spread and numerous other sects appeared, the Catholic church undertook measures to reform itself in order to help Catholics remain loyal.
This movement to reform the Catholic church from within is known as the Catholic Reformation .
Ignatius of Loyola left his father’s castle in Loyola, Spain to go fight in Spain’s war with France in 1521. A cannon ball struck his legs and he was severely wounded. During his recuperation he gave serious examination to his spiritual life and began writing a book, Spiritual Exercises . This daily meditation guide attracted many followers over the next 18 years.
Eventually Pope Paul III made the group founded by Ignatius of Loyola into a religious order named the Society of Jesus , or “ Jesuits ,” – the group focused on the education of Catholics in the 1500s in order to be better informed about the Scriptures and able to defend themselves against the preaching of the Protestants.

4. What were the three major activities of the Jesuits?
They founded and staffed schools meant to educate
Catholics in Europe; they sent out missionaries all over the world to convert non-Christians; and sought to stop the spread of Protestantism – even conducting trials of the Inquisition where Protestants were tried for heresy.
Arriving in the New World with the Spanish conquerors, the Jesuits worked to convert native Americans, establishing missions and schools.
Famous Jesuit Schools in the U. S.
Boston College
Loyola Marymount Univ. in Los Angeles

5. Why were the effects of the work of the Jesuits so long lasting?
They sent out missionaries to all the continents, founding schools, colleges, and universities throughout the world – many of which are still around today.

Michelangelo's
Last Judgment of Christ was unveiled in the Sistine Chapel in
1541. Christ is shown as a muscular young man and the scene is dominated by nude figures. Many criticized the work as an example of the licentiousness that had pervaded the Catholic church.
Four years later, the Council of Trent gathered for it’s first session in 1545.
The Council convened to discuss and consider Luther's Theses , the threat of Protestantism, and to verbalize a defense against the charges being made by critics of the Catholic Church.
In response to those who criticized the Church’s emphasis on art, the Council stated that art is an integral part of the process of helping the layperson to understand the Scriptures.
